Airlines charge from £60 per kilogram for overweight bags at check-in — on top of the standard baggage fee. A bag 5kg over the limit can cost from £60 extra in overweight charges. We collect from your UK door and ship your bags as air freight. Quote before collection.
All carriers require your luggage to be no more than 23kg each. Full stop. It is not a guideline and it is not negotiable at the desk.
If your luggage is over 32kg it must travel as cargo — no airline will load it as a checked bag. Your only option at check-in is to unpack everything in front of strangers and redistribute the weight. It is slow, it holds up the queue, and it is as frustrating as it sounds.

If you are travelling with more than one or two suitcases, paying airline excess baggage charges can quickly become expensive. Many airlines charge additional fees for extra bags, overweight luggage or oversized items — and you will still need to carry your luggage through the airport yourself.
At Excess Luggage Ltd., we provide a convenient alternative. We collect your luggage, suitcases, boxes and personal effects directly from your UK home, office or university and ship them safely to destinations around the world by air or sea freight. Whether you are a student studying abroad, relocating overseas, emigrating, or simply travelling with extra baggage, our luggage shipping service helps you avoid carrying heavy bags through the airport while offering a reliable, fully tracked service.
Our experienced team has been helping customers ship luggage worldwide since 1998, with services to 185 countries. Depending on your destination, we also offer convenient door-to-door (subject to your destination) delivery options.
Before paying airline excess baggage fees, compare your options. You may find that shipping your luggage separately is a more convenient and cost-effective solution — particularly if you are travelling with several suitcases, sports equipment, musical instruments or personal belongings.
